84. How many are the days of your servant? When will you execute judgment on those who persecute me?
85. The arrogant dug pits for me, which are not according to your Torah!
86. All your commandments are faithful; they persecute me wrongfully; help me!
87. They had almost consumed me on earth; but I have not forsaken your precepts!
88. In your loving kindness spare my life; so I shall keep the testimony of your mouth!

Tavo techinati lefanêcha, keimratechá hatsilêni

Táan leshoni imratêcha, ki chol mitsvotêcha tsédec
Tehi iadechá leozrêni, ki ficudêcha vachárti
Taávti lishuatechá Adonai, vetoratechá shaashuái
Techi nafshi utehalelêca, umishpatêcha iazerúni
Taíti kesse oved bakesh avdêcha, ki mitsvotêcha lo shacháchti

170. Let my supplication come before you; save me according to your word!
171. My lips shall utter praise, when you have taught me your statutes!
172. My tongue shall speak of your word; for all your commandments are just!
173. Let your hand help me; for I have chosen your precepts!
174. I long for your salvation, O Lord; and your Torah is my delight!
175. Let my soul live, and it shall praise you; and let your judgments help me!
176. I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek your servant; for I do not forget your commandments!

Frequently asked questions

How do you read Psalm 119 by name?

Type the name in Hebrew letters and the mother's name: the site shows, in order, the eight verses of Psalm 119 for each letter, to be read one after the other. A letter that appears twice is read twice.

Who is it read for?

For a sick person (refuah shleimah) and for the departed: during the shiva, at the end of the thirty days, at the yahrzeit or when visiting the grave.

Why add Neshama?

For the departed, the verses of the letters נ, ש, מ, ה (Neshama, “soul”) are added, taken from the same psalm.

What about final letters?

They are read like the regular letter:
ץ = צ
ף = פ
ן = נ
ם = מ
ך = כ

The mother's name or the father's?

For a sick person, we pray with the mother's name. For the departed, customs vary: many Sephardim also use the mother's name, others the father's. If in doubt, ask your rabbi.
